Did Millikan deny the existence of cosmic rays?
No, quite the contrary. My extensive work with cosmic rays, particularly my expeditions to high altitudes in California, led me to conclude that these rays were not of terrestrial origin. I proposed that they originated from outer space and were highly energetic particles. My research helped to establish cosmic rays as a significant astrophysical phenomenon, challenging earlier assumptions and opening up new avenues of investigation in physics.
